If you’re a junior OEF member between the ages of 14 and 17, don’t miss your opportunity to apply for an OEF Youth Bursary. The deadline closes Friday, Dec. 6 at 4 p.m.
The Ontario Equestrian Federation is a strong supporter of young equestrians and proudly offers a minimum of five $1,000 youth bursaries each year to help the next generation of equestrians reach their goals.
“This is such a rewarding program to be involved with,” says Dianne Graham, executive director of the Ontario Equestrian Federation. “We know that it can be challenging to find the funds to get to where you want to be as a rider or driver, which is where the OEF Youth Bursary program comes in.”
The OEF Youth Bursary is aimed at supporting young horse people of all disciplines who are OEF members and full-time high school students. The bursary program is intended to assist young equestrians who may have difficulty reaching their equestrian goals due to financial constraints or personal hardship.
The bursary funds can be used for riding lessons, training or competition fees, continuing education and any other activities that assist the recipient with achieving their equestrian objectives.
“This program is inclusive of all equestrian disciplines,” says Graham. “No matter what type of activities you enjoy doing with horses, we want to help you be your best.”
